Accounting software that works as hard as you do

Easy and intuitive

We designed Wave for small business owners. No jargon, just easy software that makes sense.

Get started in seconds

After creating your account, everything's set up so you can get started right away. Access it anywhere, any time. Your data is always available, and it’s backed up for extra peace of mind.

Unlimited bank and credit card connections

Connect your bank accounts in seconds. The transactions will appear in your bookkeeping automatically, and you can say goodbye to manual receipt entry.

Keep track of your business health

Have an eye on the big picture so you can make better business decisions. Our robust reports are easy to use and show month-to-month or year-to-year comparisons so you can easily identify cash flow trends.

Organized and stress-free

Wave makes accounting as simple as possible.

Make tax time a breeze

When everything is neatly where it belongs, tax time is simple. Wave’s smart dashboard organizes your income, expenses, payments, and invoices.

We’re serious about security

Bank data connections are read-only and use 256-bit encryption. Servers are housed under physical and electronic protection. Wave is PCI Level-1 certified for handling credit card and bank account information.

The complete guide to small business tax season

Is your software actually free?

Yes really, no tricks! Our software is 100% free, no trials, no limitations, and no hidden fees. Use it as much as you want, for as long as you want, and we won’t charge a cent. Our free software includes invoicing, accounting, and receipt scanning.

Is my data safe?

Completely safe. Our servers are protected physically and electronically. Any connection between you and Wave is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption. Wave is a PCI-DSS Level 1 Service Provider.

Do I need to install any software?

Wave is 100% web-based, so you just need an internet connection and browser.

You can, however, download and install our mobile invoicing and receipt scanning apps for iOS and Android.

Do I need to enter my credit card details to sign up?

Put your wallet away, you won’t need to enter in any credit card ever, unless you want to use our payroll service. Just create your account and get started for free.

Is Wave compatible with Mac or PC?

Wave works on both Mac and PC. We also have free iOS and Android apps for invoicing and receipts.

Can I set different account privileges for employees or my accountant?

Yes! Wave makes it easy to let other people help with your accounting. You can grant access to a trusted individual—an accountant, bookkeeper, tax preparer or business partner, for example—by inviting that person to be a collaborator. See our step-by-step guide on how to invite collaborators here.

Can I import my data from other accounting apps like Quickbooks?

Do you provide support?

Yes! We’re ready to answer all your questions with email support for all software (invoicing, accounting and receipt scanning). Live chat support is available for our paid financial services (Payments and Payroll).

Powerful accounting, and more!

Accounting is great, but it’s even greater when used with the rest of Wave.
